Net sales grew by 21.7% in 2015 for Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators, driven in part by continued strong growth of sustainable service revenues (partially explained by the USD to EUR FX rate), making up about one third of the total.

Proton Therapy service revenues alone increased by 20.6% and, including Other Accelerators, by 19.0%, further indicating the sustainability and predictability of this important revenue stream. The Company now has 33 PT service contracts signed, totalling a backlog of EUR 575 million in future booked revenues over the next 10-15 years.

In addition, IBA has a record year-end backlog in Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators of EUR 332 million, up 30% from EUR 256.2 million at the end of 2014.

Proton Therapy

Proton therapy is IBA's principal source of growth for the future, particularly as the Company continues to retain its market-leading position.

IBA saw continued growth in market interest in proton therapy in 2015 with orders for 13 new rooms. The Company sold four Proteus®ONE systems including three rooms to Proton Partners International in the UK and one in Taiwan. 2015 was also a very strong year for the Company's multi-room system, Proteus®PLUS, with orders in the US (three rooms for Baptist Health South Florida at the Miami Cancer Institute), the Netherlands (two rooms at the Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen proton therapy center), China (two rooms to Guangdong Hengju Medical Technologies Co. Ltd in South China), and Argentina (two rooms for the installation of a proton therapy center at the Instituto de Oncologia Angel Roffo hospital in Buenos Aires).

This brings the total historic number sold globally by IBA to 38 units (95 rooms), representing 49% of the total proton therapy centers sold (48% of the total PT rooms sold).

Regulated information

While proton therapy today accounts for less than 1% of radiotherapy treatments, studies estimate that at least 17% of radiotherapy patients would benefit from being treated with proton therapy and a large number of further clinical trials are ongoing. IBA develops new more affordable solutions and technologies that will further increase the precision of proton therapy. These developments will shape the future of proton applications, and undoubtedly open a new era for proton therapy treatment.

Proton Therapy Clinical Relevance

As the number of proton therapy centers in operation grows, the amount of clinical data on proton therapy is increasing rapidly. In 2015, IBA launched a white paper series on proton therapy in oncology. The series offers a compilation of information on current practice, opportunities and challenges of proton therapy in oncology. In addition to providing a general introduction to proton therapy, the white papers present an overview of indication-specific data and findings. IBA published two papers in 2015 (http://www.iba-protontherapy.com/more-resources-pt). The first offers a general introduction to proton therapy, and the second provides an overview of the literature on proton therapy for pediatric cancer. More than 10 indication-specific white papers will follow, outlining the benefits of proton therapy for a range of indications among which skull base malignancies, ocular tumors, lung cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Proton Therapy Affordability

The Proteus®ONE compact system is opening the single room market due to its smaller footprint and shorter installation time. It is the only compact system in the market today that incorporates both the most advanced Pencil Beam Scanning and Cone Beam CT, setting a new standard in the compact proton therapy market. To date, IBA has 11 Proteus®ONE systems installed or in process of being installed globally, in the UK (3), Japan (2), France (2), US (2), and Taiwan (2).

Proteus®ONE came into clinical use in 2014 at the Willis-Knighton Cancer Center (WKCC). In July, IBA announced that the WKCC teams and IBA have reached unprecedented levels of quality care, ease of use and speed of treatment with the Proteus®ONE. In addition to treating more common indications such as the brain and prostate, PBS has enabled WKCC to treat new applications such as breast, head & neck, esophageal lung, spine cancer, pediatric malignancies and various pelvis indications.

Proton Therapy Technology

IBA has continued to further enhance its own in-house technological advances with collaborations with some of the world's leading academic institutions and companies. For example, research collaborations with Penn Medicine have contributed to the research on Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) protocols and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), among others.

IBA also benefits from a partnership with Philips Healthcare to provide superior diagnostic imaging expertise. Measurement tools are important for maximizing the efficiency of radiation therapy, and refining these tools significantly increases the precision of proton therapy. For example, CBCT technology allows imaging to be conducted directly in the treatment room, while gamma cameras help verify the beam range. CBCT, the volumetric imaging modality, enables the production of qualitative images on a more frequent basis before or after the actual treatment, putting proton therapy on the threshold of adaptive treatment. Furthermore, it enhances the patient positioning precision, improving the global treatment quality.

Proton Therapy Key Commercial Alliances

In April, IBA and Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation announced the signing of a global collaboration to expand access to proton therapy worldwide. Toshiba has become the distributor in Japan for Proteus®ONE and IBA has become the agent for Toshiba's Carbon Therapy Solutions outside Japan.

In June, IBA and Royal Philips announced the signing of an exclusive agreement to enhance access to proton therapy in India. The exclusive Philips-IBA agreement for India followed the framework agreement that Philips and IBA signed in September 2014. The framework agreement comprises research and development, marketing and sales of imaging and therapy solutions in oncology.

With these new collaborations with Philips and Toshiba, IBA further strengthens its world leading position in proton therapy and remains at the forefront of delivering the latest in innovative cancer therapy in key regions.

Other Accelerators

IBA's Other Accelerators division delivered strong growth during 2015, again with significant gains seen in emerging markets. Revenues rose 10.4% to EUR 54.3 million, from EUR 49.2 million in 2014.

Over 2015, IBA has won 11 important Other Accelerator contracts across the world.

Radiopharma Solutions

2015 was another good year of cyclotron sales for IBA's RadioPharma Solutions division with important contracts won in all key regions. IBA RadioPharma Solutions has already installed 250 cyclotrons and 475 chemistry modules throughout the world. The sales potential for IBA in mid- and high-energy cyclotrons is high with increasing demand for radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis of severe diseases throughout the world, particularly in emerging countries.

Industrial Accelerators

Over 250 IBA Industrial accelerators are used in the world today, including some that have been functioning for more than 50 years. IBA's Industrial Accelerators division focuses on two markets: the sterilization of single-use medical products, and the improvement of the physical properties of polymers (crosslinking). IBA Industrial is evaluating new long term markets such as container screening and energy saving solutions. These new markets could contribute to growth of the segment.

Dosimetry has continued its return to growth that began in the first half of 2015. Revenues grew 26.1% compared to last year helped by the growing success of Dosimetry solutions for PT, the success of myQA ® and the favorable EUR/USD exchange rates. At constant rate, growth would have been 18.8%.

IBA Dosimetry has also established a strong backlog of EUR 18.4 million, up 9.5% compared to last year.

In March, IBA Dosimetry announced the release of its new global quality assurance platform: myQA® , and a subsequent upgrade in September. myQA® offers full support throughout all QA applications and provides the user access to its various software modules and data from one intuitive platform – anytime and anywhere.

In August, IBA Dosimetry announced the successful debut of the all-new Support Portal. The most recent addition of the IBA Dosimetry CAREprogram initiative, the new Support Portal adds emphasis on customer satisfaction by offering continuous service accessibility and improved service quality for global customer convenience.

Post period subsequent events

On March 10, 2016, the Company announced that following a global public tender, it has signed a contract with Tata Memorial Centre to install a proton therapy center in Mumbai, India. IBA will equip the new center with its Proteus®PLUS multi-room configuration including three treatment rooms with Pencil Beam Scanning capability. The equipment and services supplied by IBA will be worth approximately EUR 60 million to IBA. The project is fully financed and includes a long-term operation and maintenance contract. The center will treat its first patient in 2019.

On 23 March 2016 the company announced that the sale of IBA Molecular ("IBAM") to funds advised by CapVest Partners LP ("CapVest"), in which IBA had a 40% stake, has closed successfully. With this transaction, IBA has fully exited its joint venture with SK Capital Partners and retains no interests in IBA Molecular. The closing of this transaction is completed by a payment in cash to IBA of circa EUR 62 million.

Financial Review

IBA reported a 22.6% increase in revenues to EUR 270 million during 2015 (2014: EUR 220.6 million). At a constant FX rate, the growth would have been 17.0%.

Recurring operating profits before interest and taxes (REBIT) continued to improve compared with 2014 due to the growth and the benefits from the implementation of the Company's productivity and efficiency program. The Company's REBIT increased 28.9% in 2015 from EUR 22.9 million in 2014 to EUR 29.6 million in 2015.

The Board of Directors intends to recommend to the General Assembly that a gross dividend of EUR 1.39 per share be paid in 2016, based on 2015 results.

Operating cash flow during 2015 amounted to EUR 45.4 million. Cash flow from investing was positive at EUR 5.5 million.

The net cash position at the year-end was EUR 50 million, significantly improved from EUR 5.3 million at year-end 2014.

Outlook and Guidance

Proton therapy's penetration of the radiation therapy market continues to grow due to increasing clinical relevance, affordability and technological advances. IBA is scaling up production capacity, including investment in a new Proteus®ONE assembly line, a new customer centre, with a combined expected CAPEX of EUR 15 million over the next two years. The Company is also recruiting 400 engineers and qualified staff, worldwide, over the next 12 months.

IBA has a record backlog of EUR 332 million and the sustainable revenue source from service and maintenance contracts now represents EUR 575 million of revenue over the next 10-15 years. In 2016, IBA expects to achieve a revenue growth greater than 20%, and double digit annual growth is anticipated thereafter.

The Company expects its operating margin to be 11% in 2016, increasing to 13%-15% by 2018. Net debt is expected to stay limited in the years to come. Even with the necessary continued investments in technological advances in proton therapy to maintain its leadership in the space, IBA is planning a dividend payout ratio of 30% for the future.

This guidance is based upon the expected continued development of the proton therapy market but also the balance between the economies of scale that IBA can achieve at a higher production rate and the growing importance of service revenue,versus the increased demand driven by the equipment price tag reduction in the proton therapy market, and the Company's continued investment in R&D.
